As to the probability of obtain'
ing an international, agreement to
adopt a bimetallic standard we can
best judge for the. future by our
experience in the past. The first
international conference was called
at the'instance of the United States
and assembled at Paris Aug. 16,
1878, and all prominent nations
were represented except Germany.
After a discussion extending thir
teen days the conference concluded
that the: diversity of 'opinion was
such that an agreement was an im
possibility, and ther conference
therefore adjourned sine die.
At the instance of France'and
the United States) the second con
ference assembled at Paris April
19, 1881. Representatives from all
prominent countries including Ger
many were present. These dele
gates considered the whole subject,
and after debating for a month and
six days they came to no definite
conclusion and adjourned to meet
again April 12, 1882, but never re
assembled. j i
The conference recalled by us all
assembled at Brussels Nov. 22, 1892,
and after j a discussion extending
till Dec. 17, 1892, the delegates
from Germany, France and Eng
land were . opposed to ah interna
tional agreement on the-ground
that it was impossible and imprac
ticable. m Mr. Currie, of England,
thought it Advisable lo resolve that
it was impossible and quit, how
ever, others thought 'best to meet
again May 30, 1893, and this reeo
lution prevailed, though a further
conference has never occurred.
. Our bimetallic friends go on the
assumption, that half or a large
proportion of tne money one time
in use was displaced and conse
quently the amount of money being
lessened prices must necessarily
fall, but such bas not been the case.
The gold In the United States in
creased from $245,000,000 .in 1879
to $636,000,600 in 1895, and silver
dollars from $41,000,000 to $547,-000,000-
The total amount in cir
culation rose from $818,000,000 to
$1,600,000,000, or from $16 75 per
capita; to f 22.93. per capita.. Eng
land imported from 1873 to 1892
$190,000,000 more gold than jshe
exported. j Germany increased; her
gold fr)m the time she adopted, the
gold standard till 1894 from $425,
000,000 to $845,000,000. France
imported from 1874 to 1892 $400,
000,000 more gold; than she export
ed. It seems as though it is im
possible for one to conclude that
because stiver han fallen in vilue
our - present j nnanciai depression
has been brought about by thatj
fall when confronted by these facts.
The 8upp3v of full legal tender
money ; is greater of actual value
today, both in this and all Euro
pean countries, than ever' before.
So if as as contended the fall of
prices is due to contracted curren
cy, the facte do not support the
contention. The civilized world
has realised jthat we must have a
standard of yalue just as we have a
standard of measure and..weight,
andthata double standard is an
is such that there is no longer euf
ficient revenue derived from the
issuing of notes by the banks to
compensate them for their labor,
and hence the banks now keen out
only such an amount of notes as
they are required to by law.
This provision of the law should
be repealed and have the govern
ment pay off its bonded indebted
ness as soon as it can raise the
revenue to do so. This modifies
tion was urged upon-Congress some
time since, both by the bankers in
the "Baltimore , Plan" and by Car
lisle in the "Carlisle Plan."- The
requirement that no bank of lets
than $50,000 capital can' be author
ized under the law should be modi
fied so as to allow small towns to
have banks with $25,000 capital
Every bank should be required to
redeem its own notes over its own
counter not have the United States
sub-treasury compelled to keep up
a reserve of cash to redeem these
notes as is now done. - "
Now as to what plan should be
inaugurated to secure the notes is
sued by banks. ! Firsr, if our exp"er
iencex with state, banks of issue
taught us anything, it was that
only a few of them were a success
and in the great majority of in
stances they were a failure; hence

act putting the greenbacks in cir

.The system as it stands today
became a law February 25, 1863,
largely modified June 3, 1864, and
with a few unimportant features
since enacted is our system as we
now see it working. The General
Comptroller of the Currency is at
the head i of the system. Any five
persons with at least $50,000 capi
tal can form a bank to exist twen
ty years, but renewable for twenty
years longer! vun approval ox
rapidly as the revenue of the gov
ernment will permit of their can
cellation, and the national banks
can issue notes to take (their place
without a sudden contraction of
our currency. .For the same rea
son given above the Sherman coin
notes should be retired as fast as
the silver that they were issued to
purchase Bah be coined and put in
circulati,on. .Then that govern
ment gold reserve, which has its ex
istence without force of law, should
be put in circulation and not be
allowed to stand as the .thermome
ter to which our business men con
stantly look to determine the abili
ty of the government to redeem its
obligations and thus with its con
stant fluctuations hamper our busk
ness interests. Now Mr. Bryan,' in
a speech at Chicago " January 6,
1897, remarked 1 that the national
banks were wanting to have the
greenbacks retired ; so they could
monopolize the issue of paper
money. ' This statement is utterly
erroneous, ridiculous and is not
founded on facts, j As was stated
above the premium on government
bonds is such that the banks can
not make enough money on issuing
notes to compensate them for their
labor, and hence they only now
have out such notes as they are re
quired to keep in circulation by
law. Again, instead of the national
banks hampering pr monopolizing
anyfunc Ion of thegtrainooentthey
have on the contrary actually been
a source of revenue to the govern
ment to the extent of $157,439,-

McKiuley's Life Insurance.
President-elect McKinley will be
gin his term with $50,000 life in
surance. The policy is made out
and paid for. To keep up this in
surance for one of his age will cost
almost as much as the salary of a
member of Congress $5,000 a year.
After his nomination Mr. McKin
ley determined to take out a policy
in some good company . and indis
creetly mentioned the fact to some
of. his friends. Within a month
every life insurance company in the
United States that had any hope of
getting even an audience with the
President-elect or any of his friends
had sent one of its best men to
Canton to camp out for the remain
der of the summer.
During the summer and far into
the autumn the agents stayed on.
Once in a while one qf them had a
chance " to get in a word, but the
Major gave him little satisfaction.
" Finally, the Sgent who had writ
ten up Mark Hanna captured the,
prize. He worked for the company
that paid big policies after Presi
dent Garfield died and again after;
the death of President Arthur.
Twenty-four hours later twenty!
suites of rooms in the best hotel in

but happy agent stayed over a few
